G
If you want a heart of sympathy
C
Then pray to God to help you, please
Em
See the world that Jesus sees
G
Yeah

G
But be careful what you ask Him for
C
Cause if you’re gonna open up that door
Em                              G
There’s no going back to before

C                         D
Cause once you see a mother who can’t feed
Em                              C
The baby that cries in her arms
C                               D
Your heart will break and you’ll lay awake
Em                                      A
No, sleep won’t come quick anymore
C              D                G
So do you want to know?

G
You pass him on the way to work
C
He holds a sign beside the curb
Em                                     G
You look away and avoid the hurt

G
Cause why should you be held responsible
C
Besides, he’ll probably just spend it all
Em                              G
On cigarettes and alcohol




C                               D
But once you see that the man on the street
Em                                    C
Has a name and a family like you
C                                      D
Your heart will break and you’ll lay awake
Em                              
Cause you’ll understand God loves him, 
A
too
C                  D             G
So do you want to know?
Oh, no

G
If you want a heart of sympathy
C
Then pray to God to help you see

C                       D
But once you see a world that’s in need
Em                              C
And a sorrow you just can’t ignore
C                                           D
Your heart’s gonna break and you’ll lay awake
Em                              
Cause you’ll know you could do so much 
A
more
C           D        G 
Do you want to know?
